Overview
- New mock drafts highlight Sonny Styles as the likely No. 7 pick for Washington, with ESPN’s Peter Schrager and Bleacher Report’s roundup both pointing to the Ohio State linebacker.
- Schrager ties the pick to Washington’s 2025 struggles on defense, citing 6.0 yards per play allowed and 26.5 points per game.
- He compares Styles to 49ers All‑Pro Fred Warner and points to GM Adam Peters’ experience with that model from his San Francisco tenure.
- Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder says the converted safety brings coverage range and sure tackling that fit next to Frankie Luvu and Leo Chenal in Dan Quinn’s scheme, noting elite combine testing including a perfect Relative Athletic Score.
- Not all mocks agree on Washington’s direction, with some favoring other positions, and the choice remains unsettled with the draft set for April 23.
